"Now this is a once in a life time thing. One that the whole family is here to witness, one that will go down in the history books of the day I killed the Thunderbirds." The hood chuckled.

The room still was silent as everyone tried to adjust to what was happening. Scott couldn't move if he did the Hood would surely kill his daughter. So he sat with his fist trembling with all the pent up anger.

"I swear Hood you so much as draw blood from her and I will kill you!" Jeff growled.

The Hood looked up at them and smiled, "Ah Jeff you don't seem to be in the position to give out orders," The hood then pushed some hair out of Brookes face and whispered, "Doesn't make you feel special Brooke to know you'll be the first to die." The hood then gave a icy cold laugh and Brooke went ghostly white.

From the knife against her neck all the Tracy's could see the deep crimson color of blood.

"Well I must be going, have fun with the funeral plans." The hood then snickered and turned to walk away. Scott and Kelly ran to their daughter as she struggled to breath. Virgil had turned to find something to stop the bleeding, Tin-Tin got sick and Alan went to help her. But not to long everyone had circled around Brooke.

"Brooke please don't leave me." Kristi begged.

Brooke opened her eyes and looked at Kristi deep down inside her she was screaming God this can't be happening not now don't take me! Scott had ripped his shirt to slow the bleeding and looked around for anything to help his daughter. Kelly had gone white when Brooke fell to the floor and now sat holding Brooke's hand.

"Brooke we are going to get you out of here. Lady P is coming." Scott said his voice begging Brooke to hold on.

"Penny!" Jeff screamed into his wrist watch after a couple seconds the conversation was over.

"Penny is close she'll be here in 5 mins." Jeff then told the others.

"Da- Dad." Brooke tried to say but blood rolled from her lips.

"Baby don't talk just keep your eyes open." Scott said and felt Brooke squeeze his hand. She was fighting so hard but her life was quickly leaving her body.

I don't want to die like this! Brooke screamed in her mind heart and soul. It couldn't be over it just couldn't be! Just as Brooke felt all of her strength escape her body her father was gently picking her up and rushing somewhere.

3 days later.

The white ceiling tile was what Brooke saw when she finally woke up. A tube was stuck down her throat and IV's ran through her arms. She blinked a couple of times to adjust to the light and then turned her head to see her whole family sitting in the room sleeping. A smile crossed her face she was happy knowing everyone was safe and in one room together. Brooke picked her hand up and placed it on her throat feeling bandages covering it. She grimaced at the thought of what had happened. There was a stirring in the back of the room and Brooke turned to her cousin waking up.

"Brooke? Your up!" Kristi said very happy to see her cousin alive.

Brooke could see the tears cover her eyes and she held up a hand and glared at her cousin. Kristi walked across the room and slipped her hand into Brooke's.

"We were all very worried." Kristi whispered and looked down to see Brooke had fallen to sleep again. And that's where Kristi sat until Brooke awoke again that night. The doctor came in and took the breathing tube out and let the family talk with Brooke.

Jeff left with Gordon, John and Virgil and soon Kristi took off with Alan, Tin-Tin and Rachel. Scott and Kelly came back into the room and smiled down at their daughter.

"Brooke don't do that again." Scott ordered his daughter.

"I won't trust me." Brooke said which got a little laugh from the three.

"You guys should go home. I'll be fine and you could use some sleep." Brooke finally spoke.

"No I won't leave you." Kelly said.

"Kelly." Scott wasn't for the whole leaving but he couldn't argue with the sleep thing.

"Mom Dad you need to get some sleep I'll be fine here and if anything happens the hospital will call." Brooke said now feeling really tired.

"We'll get a hotel room and be close." Scott then said seeing his daughter falling in and out of sleep. Kelly seemed to relaxe a bit but Scott knew she wouldn't get much sleep.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow love ya." Brooke said.

"We love you too." Kelly said kissing her daughter on the forehead.

"Talk to you tomorrow sweetie." Scott said giving Brooke a look that to many times before they used.

Scott and Kelly left and soon found that Jeff and the rest had got rooms in a hotel not far from the hospital.

"This way we can be close." Jeff had commented to Kelly. She had weakly said, "Thank you." In response.

They had all seperated quiet quickly so they could get as much rest as possible all knowing though that it would be a long night. Kelly stood by the window and Scott stood behind her supporting her.

"She'll be fine." Scott said then felt his wife start to tremble.

"We almost lost her." She cried into his shoulder.

"But we didn't." Scott didn't know what to say he was just as scared about almost losing their daughter.

"Scott I couldn't live if anything ever happened to her." Kelly wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I couldn't either but right now we have to watch over our daughter and not run after a mad man." Scott looked into Kelly's eyes.

"Oh Scott." Kelly said starting to cry again.

That night she cried herself to sleep and Scott held her until the both laid on the bed and slept late into the morning. Little did they know that the phone had been ringing, sending an emergency their way but it never got through.

When they did wake in the morning and found messages on the answering machine the whole Tracy family rushed to the hospital.

Brooke had stopped breathing. She was weak and need a lot of rest but she was fine. Once again the tube was down her throat and once again she slept for days. When she awoke though her mother and father sat in the room watching and waiting.

"Brooke. Thank god your alright." Kelly said looking down at her daughter who was now very pale.

Brooke moaned and touched the tube. "The doctor says we have to keep it in longer." Scott told her.

Brooke's eyes weld up with tears and they then begun to roll down her cheeks. She was now really scared of not making it the next time. She didn't want a next time if the tube came out and she stopped breathing she didn't want to be put through this hell again.

It's not fair to mom and dad or the rest of the family. Brooke thought. I'm sick of laying here and doing nothing. I'm sick of fighting for my life. THIS ISN'T FAIR!

Brooke looked away from her father and mother and fell back to sleep. This would be a long haul for Brooke and there wasn't one person in the family that doubted the fact that one day the hood would die.
